      Background

      Background: Chromosomal instability (CIN) is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Tumor cells keep shedding DNA into blood stream which provides an opportunity for CIN analysis. Here we present a retrospective study to investigate the potential of CIN in plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as a minimal-invasive biomarker for early cancer detection and cancer treatment responses monitoring.

      Method

      Methods: To characterization the baseline data of CIN in cfDNA, 171 plasma samples were collected since June 2017. 35 was from non-cancer individuals. 136 was from cancer patients. cfDNA was extracted and sent to low-coverage genome sequencing on the Illumina X10 platform, followed by chromosomal instability (CIN) analyses by a customized workflow Ultrasensitive Chromosomal Instability Detector (UCAD).

      Result

      Results:

      Increased plasma cfDNA CIN was observed along with disease progression. In lung cancer, cfDNA CIN increased along with the development of lesions, from adenocarcinoma in-situ, minimal invasive adenocarcinoma, invasive adenocarcinoma (P=0.034) to relapsed cancer (P<0.01). The sensitivity of early lung cancer detection was 30.7%, 37.5%, 45.5%, 50.0% and 98.1% for AIS, MIA, IAC, SCC and relapsed lung cancer, at a specificity of 75%.

      In primary lung cancer, cfDNA CIN decreased after curative therapies. And cfDNA CIN significantly increased after disease relapsed (P<0.01). And cfDNA levels did not show statistical differences regarding metastases sites.

      Conclusion

      Conclusions:

      cfDNA CIN can help early cancer detection and treatment response monitoring.
